Pachink_Go
A game by Mc_Shredz
A game made for short burst sessions. I wanted the mechanics to be snappy, and the levels are procedural. There isn't really an end goal yet, it is just meant to be fun
I intend to add more modes where there is actually a goal in mind
code is by me, but I have used Claude for the music. No intention to break the user agreement, so if this is a problem, I will re-upload without sound, or will add my own music when I get some practice.
Controls
Direction Pad left and right aims the launcher
Press X to launch the ball

I finished my first game, so sharing it feels pretty exciting—and a little nerve-racking! I’d love to hear what you think. Any feedback, thoughts, or suggestions are very welcome. I hope you enjoy exploring Hexwood!
Hexwood
Lost in Hexwood. Hunted by its shadows. Can you escape — and free your soul?
🕹️ Retro Atari-Style Challenge: Easy to learn, hard to master!
Hexwood is a punishing coffee-break mini-game heavily inspired by the unforgiving difficulty of old-school Atari VCS / Arcade games mixed with a speedrun challenge. Expect a real challenge where death is part of the experience!
How to play
Explore its rooms, gather the items you need, and find a way through the obstacles in your path.

I made a combo cart to feature all of the PICO-8 submissions from this year. It was a blast participating in the jam, and I can't wait for next year!
The jam theme was "ま", which could be interpreted as "間" (space between), "馬" (horse), or... any number of other things, really.

Hello pico-8 people, this is not really a game, its more something that was born out of my laziness to actually finish a project i just started. Im posting this here in hopes the shame of it not being in a presentable state will bring me to work on it. That being said, theres no game, its just like, an introduction, a walking system, and the start of a combat system.
I live in Aotearoa, of pākehā heritage. It would be cultural overreach to make any sort of statement about bullfighting, but, personally, I don't really like it. I tried to think of a different setting where the joke still works though and couldn't, so here it is.
Known issues:
- the doors stick out into the arena. There's a fix for this but I'm not going to implement it, I'm done with this project for the moment.

With pico from humble raspberry pi version (im using it on normal samsung phone not any handheld)
On windows well i have windows version from humble
And difference is i have same exact carts folder (copied from pc to android)
And on windows i don't see sub folders in splore and on android i do
I see them with ls command
I can access them with cd folder name
But even if i get into any folder as soon as i leave it with ..
Its like it never was there and does not show up on list
I have folder named new
And if i do cd new
On top of file list i see folder icon with /new/
So only issue is visibility of folders on list
And i can't find anyone even talking about similliar issue
Hello,
Just recently acquired picotron and I seem to have issues getting it to connect to the network (settings flag enabled). I.e. nothing that is supposed to fetch data from the internet works (splore, accounts, etc) and eventually timeouts.
As there appears to be no logs available I'm a bit out of ideas of what could be the issue.
For reference this is version 0.3.0d running on linux (almalinux 10) and happens with both picotron and picotron_dyn.
As a funny sidenote, pico-8 does not have the same issue.
Thanks
Steal the time from a rotting corpse of its former master, dodge his bullet-hell-like spells, and fight his army of minions. But what will you do when you win? How will you use it?
Play here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=159761
Can one even make mistakes if one can control time itself?
- press ⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️ to move
- press ❎/x to jump
- press 🅾️/c to use weapon (each weapon has 3 uses)
TIP: After the tutorial, you can turn on the checkpoints in the menu (press Enter > Checkpoints on/off).

Bitcrushing
(moved from the workshop tab to the audio tab)
I've been experimenting with Picotron's audio system, and I've set up a method to bitcrush audio by using very low volume audio and increasing its amplitude using a shape effect.
If you want your Picotron instruments to have more 'crunchiness', you can follow the following steps to set up bitcrushing on an oscillator, noise or FM synthesis.
Things to know beforehand
- Turn down your volume when setting this up, as due to the methods being adjusting and re-adjusting the volume, you may suddenly get loud noises during the process.
- Shape effects can be used as an amplitude multiplier by only changing the 'MIX' knob and leaving every other knob at 0
- You can ctrl+click below the number of an adjustable knob to set its multiplier as multiplied/divided by 4, 16 or 64
- You can also click the left side of where the number of the knob is to add or remove a + or *, which changes if the value is effected by the volume level given, the note being played etc.
I decided to make a playable version of a fake game that Phil Braun came up with on Office Hours Live.
Grab a harpoon and then press X to shoot Moby-Dick (you can't change the angle or strength of your shot).
Aim for the blowhole to get points.
Don't slip on whale water or bird poop!

About

In a lighthouse in the southern sea, your research nears it's end. Twenty years have passed since the first appearance of the Azure beacon. What caused a light to emerge from the sea and pierce the skies?

Important!!!
Since this is the "jam release" of the game, it is in a quite unpolished state, but it won't stay like this. Well, the jam version probably will, but the full release won't.
If you have any bugs to report, or possible QOL advice, feel free to comment, since I'll take into account all comments for said full release.
